I have been helping my dad search for a car, and I just have to get this off my chest. Dear car dealers and Craigslist sellers: 1. If you do not post the mileage of the car, you are being a dirt-bag. You know darned well that would be the first question any sensible person would ask. If I call you at all I will call angry. Is that any way to start a negotiation? 2. If you state “call for price” instead of listing the price, you are clearly asking too much for the car. You want people to call so you can attempt to hard-sell them. You should burn for all eternity and I am skipping your ad. 3. Stop posting pictures of your car using Instagram. I do not need to see what a 2012 car would look like in 1972 unless it has a factory-installed functional time machine. 4. Unless you can show documented proof, stop claiming “all highway miles”. You are a liar and should have a melon-baller shoved through your eardrum. 5. Stop including pictures of your family with the car unless they are included in the sale. They obstruct my view of the vehicle, and your wife looks like Sasquatch. I hope you scotch-guarded the seats because she looks oily. 6. 24 inch wheels look stupid on a Lincoln. Why would you buy a car with a sophisticated air-ride suspension and then put rims on it that can barely accommodate a rubber band, much less a tire. Idiot. 7. You are going to need pictures to sell a car, genius. Don’t place your ad until you have some. If you cannot post pictures that are taken in daylight, oriented up and down, larger than a thumbnail, or in clear focus…please consult a local pre-schooler to help you place your ad.
